We will give you the Kentucky Completion Card and a certification letter (with instructions) addressed to your state’s Motorcycle Program director. You will send that letter, your KY card and copies of your Driver’s and Temporary Licenses to that director who, then, will issue and send your state’s Waiver card directly to you in the mail. This process typically takes less than 1 week.
What happens if it rains? Please show up at the appropriate class time. We will conduct needed training/testing indoors and then will continue on the range as soon as the rain stops. If it becomes apparent that we will not be able to conduct the on-cycle portion, we will reschedule the portion we were unable to complete during the upcoming week (evenings) or other make-up day as agreed by the instructors and students. We will make every effort to work together to complete the course.
What if I can’t make it to the class for which I’m scheduled? If you give us at least 2 weeks notice, we will reschedule you for another date in the future. We do not issue refunds. If less than 2 weeks notice is given, we cannot guarantee that rescheduling is an option, although we will make every effort to accommodate.
